The new car which was scheduled to be used this year has yet to make an appearance, but Coulthard believes it will help him challenge for honours in the new campaign. "I really feel very positive about next season because the MP4-18 is showing significant steps forward," said Coulthard. "By the time we race it, it will be the MP4-19 and I really think McLaren will take a big step forward next year.
He added: "I think in many ways I have more optimism and excitement for the start of next year than I had this year. Because we knew we were starting with the 17 and it was always going to be we were starting with an updated old car. You might just have to write that British world champion headline that you have been saving up for years and years.":laugh:
